Nice fitting on the exhaust. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure as the tubing heats and cools it is going to move alot. If it's ss it will move more than mild steel. The holes in the rear panel will need to be a lot bigger at the least. I guess if the tubing cracks or a housing cracks you can worry about it then. It really looks smooth though and maybe it will never be a problem. Maybe the holes in the panel will hold the tubing and it will take a set from the heat and sorta stay in the right place. It will be interesting to see the outcome.
Have you got a solution for the heat on the bottom side of the trunk lid? Louvers might be neat. |

The stainless isn't as prone to crack as much as the mild steel, but the holes in the rear panel were mainly to help set a target point to route the tubes thru, i'm going to cut it out and probably make a stainless panel with some sort of support. And on the trunk lid I was planning on louvers to help with the heat build-up also, maybe i will wrap the the tubing also, but thats after I get it all running. Next im going to final fit everything, and tig the headers and all the turbo piping. Then I might start on my custom intake manifold, but not sure yet. I also Had the car at our open house car show this weekend at my Shop, We had a great turn out also, about 140 cars turned out. But everyone now officially thinks I'm insane with this project. LOL |

This is the perfect build! I love this. I wish my dad would follow your footsteps with his 914 project (it will probably rust away until he gets tired of looking at it and wants me to take over the build).
One question, why restrict the exhaust at the merge? You have two 3" pipes that merge together, neck down, and then split again to 3" dual tips. Seems like you need the merge before the turbos to equalize exhaust pressure on each turbine, then keep it a true dual exhaust without a merge after the turbo. Wouldn't this create less exhaust restriction? Just curious why you chose to do it this way? Edit: FYI: Mild steel has a much lower coefficient of thermal expansion than austentic stainless steel (300 series stainless) which means it will move more (about 30-40% more). Also, its important to use a low carbon filler material to prevent hydrogen embrittlement around the heat affected zone. This will help prevent cracking around your welds when stressed due to thermal expansion. |

Just my $0.02, but a true dual exhaust is annoying to listen to.
This will be a much sweeter sounding exhaust. |

I love the sound an X-pipe gives ( plus it just look cool), and they are also supposed to help scavenge the exhaust, plus with running two 3" outlets out of the turbo, there not going to be much of a restriction. I'm glad everyone appreciates the project, it has been a lot of work, but in the end it will definitely be worth it |

Keep the pictures coming. This is an awesome project! I hope your tranny holds up. Hopefully the tires will spin before axles break (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Its what we use to weld up our stainless components at work. We use 304 and 201LN sheet. |

Im going to have custom axles made, the vw/porsche hybrid axles I Know wont hold up. And for the transaxle im going with the MRT Unbreakable gear set, they will replace the gear set for free if you can break them. And they come in standard synchro, semi dog ring and full dog ring setup-ups. It might be fun to get a full dog ring setup and run a mastershift paddle shift assembly with the cable shifter assembly, for paddle shifted clutchless fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well it has been far to long since I have updated this but, to be honest there hasn't been much going on with the project as I opened up another location for my business, and have got a few new "toy" cars I have been playing with( will post some pics, and you will understand why LOL) But I am just getting started working on the car again, and will post some pics of what Im working on now.
